Fruita, Colorado
Dinosaur Hill

Dinosaur Hill, Fruita Colorado

Between Interstate 70 (at Fruita) and Colorado National Monument, there are a couple more stops that might interest you. One is Dinosaur Hill. A mile long trail winds around this rock
outcropping. You'll pass the locations of several excavations, including the 1901 dig by Elmer Riggs and a crew from the Field Museum in Chicago. They removed an Apatosaurus skeleton from the mountain.

Fruita, Colorado is on the edge of the "Dinosaur Diamond Scenic Byway". The loop route takes you to some of the country's most significant archeological sites, including Dinosaur National Monument, in the northwest corner of the state. The trip from Fruita to Moab also follows the byway. Go-Utah.com and DinosaurDiamond.org has more information.

Rodeo, Fruita, Colorado

Just below Dinosaur Hill is Rimrock Adventures, where during the summer months, you can catch some cowboys hanging on for dear life, every Tuesday night.

The Rodeo and Dinosaur Hill are both located on Colorado Rte. 340, off I-70 at exit 19.
